About Rooibos
From the Cedar Mountain Area, in South Africa’s Western Cape, rooibos is rich in minerals and antioxidants, and free of caffeine and made by gently roasting the tips of the rooibos plant, making the leaves a dark reddish-brown, and an amazing clear, red infusion.

Also known as “red tea,” or “red bush tea,” this herbal is pretty popular these days. A singular flavor that is slightly sweet with notes of barley malt, and yet also a tiny bit roasted. This herbal is a native to South Africa and has been getting so much publicity these days because of its abundance of antioxidants, minerals, and vitamins… and their anti-aging properties.

Samovarian Poetry: This warming, grounding, delicious, organic tisane we have custom blended for His Holiness The Dalai Lama. Silken, malty mouth-feel lingers blissfully. South African rooibos, honeybush, ginger, licorice, cloves, and cinnamon. Sail from the ordinary moment into a regal, contemplative one.

Food Pairing: The Ocean of Wisdom is an amazing dessert tea. The deep earthy flavor and warming spices pair effortlessly with chocolate, fruit, sugar, and spice and everything nice. Serve the Ocean of Wisdom with home made pumpkin pie, with a warm palmier, or with chocolatey opera cake.
